I don't think it's not in Nim because of parsing problems, it just doesn't look 
as a floating point value, especially at the end of a sentence - it then just 
looks as sentence terminator (and is even used so say in SmallTalk). And with 
all Nim's `x and y` vs. `x&&y`, `if x: y else: z` vs. `x?y:z`, `var x: int` vs. 
`int x`, yet `addr`, would saving here just one character be in line?

I didn't know it's widespread in C-like languages, but it's not an issue for 
them any way.

Yes, this syntax can then be expected by some newcomers, until the overall 
Nim's style is taken into account. Turns out, it's even allowed in JS and PHP. 
Yet I've never met it in any code. And a search through a bunch of JS libraries 
(even packed) did not give any example.
